Thread: Ubuntu bionic (18.04) moving to apt-archive.postgresql.org
Bionic has been EOL for a few months now, and building PostgreSQL 16 on bionic turned out to be difficult (among other problems, zstd being available but too old), so I used that to stop supporting bionic on apt.postgresql.org. No new builds for that distributions have been made since July. bionic-pgdg has now been copied to apt-archive.postgresql.org and will be removed from apt.postgresql.org at the end of October 2023. If you are still on bionic (please upgrade!) point your sources.list entries to https://apt-archive.postgresql.org. deb https://apt-archive.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt bionic-pgdg main Christoph

New installations should just work with the above sources line.
Yes, of course. I meant to ask if an existing bionic VM with PG already installed and running would see any issues if they don't make any adjustments at all.

This depends. PostgreSQL itself won't mind this one bit, but since the package repository won't exist any longer (i.e., broken), when running 'apt-get update', some processes will take that status as an error in package management.
This may break automation if the automation depends on _all_ repositories functioning properly. For instance, you may see this as an issue if adding the host to Canonical's ESM repositories. Chef/Puppet/Ansible/etc. might not like it, either.

This has now happened, I just removed bionic and kinetic from the repository. Christoph
